Can the NVIDIA H200 run BLOOM-3B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
BLOOM-3B on the NVIDIA H200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1865k | 584-696 t/s | ~4.9-5.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1911k | 1168-1392 t/s | ~9.7-11.6 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1931k | 2085.7-2485.7 t/s | ~17.4-20.7 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
FAQ
Can the NVIDIA H200 run BLOOM-3B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2085.7-2485.7 tok/s and fits up to 1931k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~17.4-20.7 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1931k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
